-Georedundancy Use cases (Draft)
-===============================
+Georedundancy: Connection between different OpenStack cells
+-----------------------------------------------------------
Georedundancy refers to a configuration which ensures the service continuity of
the VNF-s even if a whole datacenter fails [Q: Do we include or exclude VNF
pooling?].
+
This can be achieved by redundant VNF-s in a hot (spare VNF is running its
configuration and internal state is synchronised to the active VNF),
warm (spare VNF is running, its configuration is synchronised to the active VNF)
or cold (spare VNF is not running, active VNF-s configuration is stored in a
database and dropped to the spare VNF during its activation) standby state in a
different datacenter from where the active VNF-s are running.
+The synchronisation and data transfer can be handled by the application or the infrastructure.
In all of these georedundancy setups there is a need for a network connection
between the datacenter running the active VNF and the datacenter running the
spare VNF.
-This set of use cases is about enabling the possiblity to select a datacenter as
+In case of a distributed cloud it is possible that the georedundant cloud of an application
+is not predefined or changed and the change requires configuration in the underlay networks.
+
+This set of georedundancy use cases is about enabling the possiblity to select a datacenter as
backup datacenter and build the connectivity between the NFVI-s in the
different datacenters in a programmable way.
